Research direction

Start with the options.config file and the deployment configuration for the sample Node.js project. Inspect how NewSignupTopic and AllowSNS2SQSPolicy are defined and referenced, then reproduce the deployment error. Done means the sample deploys without the reported CloudFormation circular dependency.
